What more can I say except four terabytes for 72 dollars? OK, I'll add that it's a USB 3.0 drive, which it would have to be -- a USB 2.0 interface would be cruel and unusual punishment (though it does support that if, for some reason, you have no 3.0 ports).

The drive has a 4.7-star review average from nearly 50 customers, suggesting that if you're pairing this with a console, you should be more than satisfied with it.

WD doesn't provide any backup software, and if you want to use the drive with a Mac, you'll have to reformat it.

Those little wrinkles aside, this is quite a lot of storage for a relative drop in the bucket.

Your thoughts?
